  1. Recognize as Imaginary Number: First, we need to recognize that the square root of a negative number is not a real number, but an imaginary number. We can write the square root of 87-87 as 87×i\sqrt{87} \times i, where ii is the imaginary unit.
  2. Approximate 87\sqrt{87}: Now, let's approximate 87\sqrt{87} to the nearest tenth. We know that 81=9\sqrt{81} = 9 and 100=10\sqrt{100} = 10. Since 8787 is closer to 8181 than to 100100, we can estimate that 87\sqrt{87} is a bit more than 99.
  3. Calculate 87\sqrt{87}: Using a calculator, we find that 87\sqrt{87} is approximately 9.3273799.327379. To the nearest tenth, this is 9.39.3.
  4. Final Result: Therefore, the square root of 87-87, to the nearest tenth, is approximately 9.3i-9.3i, where ii is the imaginary unit.
